Today...

So now that you are up to date lol here is where I stand today. I want to update this daily, or as my symptoms change. I have been doing well for years other than stupid symptoms here and there which I will be sharing from now on. Up until a week or two ago things were good but I started to get very fatigued and could barely stay awake through the day at work or home. I started getting pain in my right knee, then burning in my left knee, then burning up and down my left leg, then side tightness ( The MS hug). I started on Prednisone again last Thursday and it is helping now. As of today, I still have the side tightness and some leg burning/numbness when I stretch my neck or tilt my head. No dizziness and nothing unbearable as I now have medicine in me. I had an appointment at the neurologist today and it seems to just be an inflammation and not a relapse, as long as it does not get worse or start new symptoms. I am being setup with another MRI on my brain and back in a few weeks so we will see how that goes. It is mainly to verify that the Avonex shot/treatment I am on is working correctly. For those of you not familiar with Avonex, it is an Intramuscular (IM) injection that I have to do once a week. The needle is 1 and 1/4 inches long, not a fun shot. All current MS treatments require shots BTW. I did it myself for quite some time but  thanks so much to a nurse at my wife's work I have it done for free now every week (Thank you Lord!).

I hope this does not freak or gross anyone out, but its life. Anyone who wishes to follow my symptoms and challenges feel free to follow this blog, otherwise don't. I will tell it how it is, whether good or bad, and hope that it not only benefits myself, but others who may have questions. Lastly, anyone who wants to know but is afraid to ask, here you go. Thank you so much for your support, and don't forget about joining www.ms365.org. 8-)
